Sawyer
Sawyer has been playing guitar for about 5 years. He LOVES guitar and says "it is my favorite thing as it is fun and sounds amazing. I will never give up on guitar and hope for it to be my career when I am older. When my mom found MAMM I was so exited! I had wanted to do something like this for forever and it has been amazing! Everyone is so awesome and I’ve learned a lot and just had so much fun.
Kate
Kate has been learning how to play multiple different instruments pretty much for all her life. From piano to fiddle, to guitar, she has learned many different styles, including rock, classical, folk, & metal. She says, “Out of all the instruments I have played, the guitar is definitely the one that spoke to me. I was learning theory faster than I ever had on other instruments, while at the same time absolutely loving to practice for hours!” As of right now Kate has been playing guitar for 3 years. She has written multiple tunes and riffs, including her Somewhere Over the Rainbow cover in folk finger-style. She is now a student at Berklee Online trying to get her Guitar Performance degree, as well as actively playing in MAMM band named MIXR. She also plays bass guitar at a local church. “If there is one piece of advice I could give, it’s practice, practice, practice! If you don’t enjoy practicing, find that instrument (or thing) that you do enjoy. Yes, you may have your months that you don’t feel like doing anything, but push through them. I’ll tell you, it really pays off, big time!” - Kate
